Flickr: Yahoo services are expected to be purchased by Verizon, completing in 1Q17, including the Flickr service, where the general plan appears to merge with AOL.

Reading: one two thee four five . No one yet knows for sure what the future of Flickr will be. I think that there may be possibility that Verizon could focus upon service for the USA. I recall that BT and Yahoo were allied for consumer service, although their Flickr relationship already changed in 2013.

Advice: I would not suggest Flickr as your only storage provision for photos - many of us remember the sudden demise of Fotopic. Look for other services for storage or ensure your own provision. One suggestion: RAID 1 (dual HDD) NAS: link link link
